Project

The CRBIP, Centre de Ressources Biologiques de l’Institut Pasteur, is a structure created in 2001 that encompasses the Pasteurian culture collections: the CIP (bacteria collection), the PCC (cyanobacteria collection), the ICAReB (human samples collection) and the Eukaryotic virus collection. Since January 2016, the CIP, has sequenced more than a thousand bacterial genomes and assembled them using the P2M pipeline. An initiative has been proposed by the CRBIP, in line with its new strategy of valorization, to annotate all genomes and make publicly available those from type strains with a private section for non-type strains that will be available to users on demand. To attain this objective, a long-term collaboration will be established between the CIP, the C3BI (Natalia Pietrosemoli’s team) and the CRBIP that will start with a small project to do the draft annotation of the available bacterial genomes using the open source software, Prokka.
